• Administer automated email security gateways to protect against phishing and business email compromise.
• Execute the operational deployment of Privileged Access Management (PAM) tools to systematically eliminate standing local admin rights.
• Establish the definitive compliance baseline (encryption, domain-join status, MFA) required for any device to access the corporate network.
• Build and maintain Conditional Access matrices to enforce zero-trust identity policies globally.
• Draft standardized Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) templates to simplify department-level onboarding.

Qualifications

• 1–3 years in IT Support, Systems Administration, or End-User Services with a strong understanding of user pain points.
• Deep practical knowledge of Active Directory, user object lifecycles, and basic Windows/Mac endpoint troubleshooting.
• Demonstrated ability to document complex IT processes and a strong drive to learn modern SSO administration and automation scripting.

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Employer-sponsored 401(k) plan.
• Paid time off.
